This will be long because I'm excited, lol. I went to the CHA Craft Supershow in Orlando!!!! It was so much fun. Exhausting, but fun. I can't imagine the people that went BOTH days. But there were lots of exhibitors and tons of peoples and lots of giveaways. Unfortunately, I didn't win a giveaway, but the two friends I was with did, both from Michaels. One friend won a $10 gift card. The other won a Fiskars gift pack (a paper trimmer, scissors, and a stamp set).

But I still feel like I won because I. GOT. THE. PAPERTREY. INK. EXCLUSIVE. CHA. SET!!! (Sorry...using Stephenie Meyer's method for emphasis, lol.) I also got two of their cute pink shopping bags (I went twice, lol), two of their pens, a ton of "To Do" notepads they were giving away with purchase (item #1: Visit www.papertreyink.com, lol) and they were giving away half-sheets of their Guidelines paper as well. Those are just the freebies. To get the exclusive set, you had to spend $100, which is NOT hard for me to do at Papertrey, especially since I've been holding out the past couple of months.

In addition to the exclusive set, Floral Fusion, I got:

Vintage Picnic

Vintage Picnic Sentiments

Bitty Blessings (a baby set)

In Bloom

Everday Button Bits (love buttons!)

Teacher's Apple

Between all the sentiments across all the sets, I'll should be set for a long time, which is good because I'm officially broke now. The only reason I was able to get so much is because my dear brother-in-law sent money for me to spend. Wasn't that sweet? Now, I have to start practicing with my Copics: In Bloom and Vintage Picnic are both singing for them. :-)

I also got some Papertrey cardstock in White, Pure Poppy, Vintage Cream, and Enchanted Evening (a new blue in their line).

I sat for two of their make & takes. This is the first one I did on the second day, which was actually their second of three for the day. There was no way I was waiting for the first one. They were six deep waiting for that one! In the picture above, you may recognize Michelle Wooderson and Heather Nichols on the left. I think the one on the far right is Debbie Olson. They are all Papertrey Design Team members. I saw Nichole Heady and Dawn McVey, but didn't get pictures of them. I hope there wasn't someone else I missed! Oh!!! I also met Ashley Newell of A New Design live and in person. She's so tiny! And sweet. Here is the card I made at this one:

I'll post the one I made using the exclusive set tomorrow or Tuesday.

Soooo tired today!!! :-)

Well, I have to laugh - I followed your link from Mish's blog and who's in the picture you posted?? ME!! Ha - there I am happily making my PTI card - well, my back is to you but if you could have seen my face I'm sure I had a happy like look on it! (I'm the one in turquoise top).

I had a great time and I'm sure all my friends (the non-papercrafting ones anyway) are sooooo tired of hearing me blah blah blah about it. Oh well, too bad!! BTW, forgot to tell you yesterday I really enjoyed looking at your blog. I'll be back! I don't have one myself, but maybe one day if I can ever figure it out.

oh my gosh!!! you are soooo luckY!!! & don't just think that all that new PTI stuff is all you'll need for a while....cause WE all know that.... no matter what the new stuff is on the 15th we will "need" that too!!! LOL!!!
